Who are the Huntsman Heroes?

When you join the Huntsman Heroes team, you'll meet dedicated supporters and athletes of all levels, from Utah and beyond. Team members share the same commitment and goal: eradicating cancer from this earth. They train, fundraise, and participate in several partner events and Huntsman Cancer Foundation (HCF) signature events to make a meaningful impact in the fight against cancer. You can also join the Huntsman Heroes team as a Virtual Hero and participate in your own event, wherever you are, to fundraise for Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI). One hundred percent of funds raised support the mission of HCI.
